“Last night, one of the stars of the book, Chalky the terrier, died,” Amanda sadly announced to the panel, explaining she’d been ill for a long time.
“It was still a shock, even though she was 14,” Amanda said.
She then added: “I think it was the bit where the handmade dog coffin turned up and Chalky’s on the kitchen table, lying in state as we speak.”

Chalky ‘fading’
After making the announcement, the Our Yorkshire Farm star posted a video in which she explained Chalky’s recent condition. Driving along with her in a tractor, the mother of nine explained: “I’m sorry to say, Chalky is fading.
“Chalky has had her time, and what a great life she has had, but now she’s struggling,” Amanda said. “She’s very weak, she’s very tired, and she keeps falling over. She’s not in any pain or anything. I just have to make sure that she doesn’t conclude her life by falling over somewhere silly, like in the river as you did this morning. Wherever I go, Chakly comes too.”
Alongside the video, which was posted after Chalky’s death, Amanda penned: “”
